Six modern Scandinavian rooms

By Ruth Sleightholme

10 September 2014

Deputy decoration editor Ruth Sleightholme creates informal,
Scandinavian-inspired schemes using modern furniture and ceramics.
'I wanted to use pieces that were super, super simple, so in that
sense the scheme is rustic. But they end up looking quite refined
and polished against the white, canvas walls. It was about creating
an unfussy space, stripped back to the essentials in a comfortable
way.'
